French guitarist Manu Codjia, one of the original French  jazz guitarists will perform at the Tuoi Tre Theatre in Hanoi on December 10.

The artist and his friends, contrabass player Jérôme Regard and drummer Philippe Pipon Garcia will take jazz fans on a passionate journey of sophisticated melodies of tracks from his latest album played.Â

They will also perform famous songs by the Jamaican musician Bob Marley and “the King of Pop,” Michael Jackson.

Codjia graduated from the Paris Conservatoire and began his career playing classical guitar but quickly found his passion in jazz. His first album, ‘Songlines’ (Bee Jazz) was released in 2007 and received enthusiastic praises from both audiences and critics.

He won the title of best guitarist at the 2007 Djangos d’Or Awards, one of the most prestigious honors for jazz in Europe, and the Victoires du Jazz award for best new instrumentalist of 2008.

His playing simultaneously presents new ideas on multiple levels, melodically and dynamically, and experimentation with technology.

Tickets can be collected at L’Espace Centre, 24 Trang Tien, Hanoi.
